Nottingham hen-parties

Possibly one of the greatest urban myths of all time could be Nottingham's infamous 5 : 1 female male ratio. Still, if it was started as a marketing campaign by Nottingham County Council, it certainly seems to have worked. Although you should not expect ‘total’ female utopia, the number of nurse’s collages in Nottingham certainly means a fine bunch of lads will have plenty to entertain themselves with on a stag night.
Nottingham has recently received a lot of press as the UK's prime den of iniquity from the "Ban all drinking or this country is going down the pan" brigade - much as a result of the fact that it was the first UK city to relax its drinking laws - leading to a city centre with the highest density of licensed premises in the country - and party loving crowds to match.

Personalised Treasure Hunt

Personalised Treasure Hunt

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY

A treasure hunt is excellent fun if you are looking for something entertaining to do during the day which will get all your party involved and working together. We can arrange pre-set treasure hunts through all the UK's major towns, which involve approximately 40 questions, the answers of which are gained as you walk along your route through some of the most scenic and interesting parts of the town. A treasure hunt is a great way of getting to know the city and also find out some interesting information that you would never have guessed unless you had taken part!

You will need to appoint one of your member as 'hunt master'. They will decide how to split up the group into teams and will hold the answers to the questions. The routes are circular, so you will always end up at your start point and it is best if you arrange a set finish time when all the teams have to be back at the start point to hand in their answers. It's recommended for the group leader to then take all the group to a nearby bar, where you can read out the answers, mark off the score cards (this is best done by getting teams to swap question papers and score while the hunt master reads out the answers) and then distribute any prizes (or penalties!) the hunt master has set for the occasion.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

- Personalised pack (please let us know the stag/hen's name)

School Sports Day

School Sports Day

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY

Some things you just don't fully appreciate when you're a kid: having all your food made for you; not needing to worry about money; never having to think 'those radiators need bleeding.' Well here's a chance to leave all that behind and experience the simple joy of a sack race, balancing a bean-bag on your head, and doing the hoola hoop! Your group will be divided into House Teams for that Harry Potter feel, and each team will try to accumulate the most points so they can win the prizes at the end (that's right - there are prizes). You may not be a kid anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't dress and act like one for a bit! Let's be honest: you deserve this. After all, you made dinner, bled the radiators, worked for your money, and now it's time to play!

- Fancy dress is encouraged (but make sure it doesn't stop you from running!).
- The activities are all at an indoor venue and last 1 hour (for 19 or more people this will be extended to 1.5 hrs)
- There is an optional Mr & Mrs Quiz, and a form is provided for the bride or groom to fill out before the event.

It's very hard to beat a good day at the races and if you win, it's even better.

The atmosphere at a race track is always amazing whether you're dressed in your Sunday best in the members' enclosure sipping bubbly or staying casual and snacking on hotdogs all day.

Those that think they know a thing or two can study the form and chew their pencils whilst the others can pick on the funniest name or the best coloured silks. Horse racing covers all the bases and has something for everyone.

Dodgeball

Dodgeball

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE NIGHT

They say dodgeball was banned from schools because it encouraged bullying, but we know the truth: it was because it was too much fun! The main reason people get caught out in a dodgeball game is a sudden inability to move due to being doubled up with laughter. No matter what your level of skill, athletic ability or fitness, you can play this game and have an absolute blast (and contrary to popular belief, the balls don't even hurt when they hit you).

The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "OUT". This may be done by:
- Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE (hasn't been deflected off another person/surface) thrown ball below the shoulders.
- Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.
There are lots of other rules including the initial "rush" for the balls, boundary lines etc... but these are all pretty simple and will be explained in full on the day.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

- A quick rules run-through
- A tournament format (complete with ridiculous team names)
- A couple of dodgeball variations to keep it interesting
- Prizes for tournament winners, best team kit and best team name

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

- Teams can be mixed about in a 2 hour session if requested. The session will normally be run as a round-robin league with a grand final, dependant on number of teams. Matches are best of three sets, and each set is a maximum of 4 minutes long. In the event of a draw at the end of the third set, a shoot-out occurs.
- Session lasts approximately 2 hours
- You're encouraged to dress in some crazy kit as in the film "Dodgeball" but you can wear normal sportsgear if you choose. Bibs are provided.

Girls Night Out Party Cruise

Girls Night Out Party Cruise

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE NIGHT

Sure, you could just go on a leisurely three hour cruise down the Trent river with your close friends taking in the views of the surroundings and catching up with all the latest gossip, and that would be .....fine.

Instead, you could do all of the above and take in some other views of your surroundings. Surroundings that include "G string waiters" and a full monty strip towards the end of the cruise!

Shortly after setting sail a bbq meal will be served. Waiters will be on hand to serve you and the boat also offers an on board disco evening.

Once the main event has been enjoyed the boat will return to the same leaving point and you will be shown to a bus that will take you to a nightclub where you'll get free guest list entry.

- Due to the content of this package it can only be offered to an all female audience who must be over 18 years of age. Please take photo ID with you.
- This cruise is subject to availability - the boat requires a minimum number of people to run, and if this is not met, then we may contact you to arrange an alternative activity.

High Ropes

Get high in the forest with a thrilling high ropes session. Set deep in the forest, this is a brilliant setting for you to face your fears and swing through the trees like Tarzan.

You'll tackle a course of over 30 hanging rope bridges, scramble nets and zip slides which are up to 30ft off the forest floor. You can also have a go on one of the few tree zip lines in the country.

If you are a bit nervous about heights our advice is simple; clear your mind and focus on what is in front of you. Whatever you do don't think about slipping over and you falling head first to your death*.

Clay Pigeon Shooting

Clay Pigeon Shooting

Overview:In the Bronze Age when a caveman spotted a woman he wanted to marry he would throw stones at her head until she was unconscious and then drag her back to his cave. When she awoke the man would cover her with an antelope fur and consummate the union. In the eyes of the law they were now man and wife.

Of course this often had its drawbacks and frequently the women would either die or become severely brain damaged and historians think this actually held back the evolution of the human race by several thousand years. Clay pigeon shooting is a direct descendant of this ancient ritual, but today the birds you're aiming at will be made of clay and you won't have to marry them afterwards.

Clay Pigeon Shooting

Clay Pigeon Shooting

An all time favourite and guaranteed to produce some hearty, tension-filled competition. Guns are selected to suit all statures and professional instruction provided with the aim of ensuring that even the most novice marksman is hitting at least every second target by the end of the day.

Different traps allow the target ‘birds’ to be released in various flight patterns – across you, along the ground, away and up or straight down the barrel. Following a practice to get used to techniques like tracking the clay and firing in front of it, hold your nerve in the competition and make the clutch shots.
